Letter Order for Houghton Mifflin Journeys Kindergarten



The girls are away at Grandma and Grandpa's and my brain is shifting into school mode!  I am desperately trying to crank out my brain child, a poetry notebook based off of Houghton Mifflin Journeys.  (It's done you can get it here. )You probably already know there isn't an easy way to figure out the letter order!!  Well I just took the guesswork out for you.  Here it is! (Oh and I included the sight words too.)

Lesson 1- Letter Names, SW I
Lesson 2-Letter Names, SW like
Lesson 3-Letter Names, SW the
Lesson 4- Mm, SW and
Lesson 5- Ss
Lesson 6- Aa, SW see
Lesson 7- Tt, SW we
Lesson 8- Cc, SW a
Lesson 9- Pp, SW to
Lesson 10- Review
Lesson 11- SW come, me
Lesson 12- Nn, SW with, my
Lesson 13- Ff, SW you, what
Lesson 14- Bb, SW are, now
Lesson 15- Review
Lesson 16- Ii, SW is, how
Lesson 17- Gg, SW find, this
Lesson 18- Rr, SW will, be
Lessson 19- Dd, SW go, for
Lesson 20- Review
Lesson 21-Oo, SW make, play
Lesson 22- Xx, Jj, SW said, good
Lesson 23- Ee, SW she, all
Lesson 24- Hh, Kk SW he, no
Lesson 25- Review
Lesson 26- Uu, SW do, down
Lesson 27- Ll, Ww, SW have, help
Lesson 28- Vv, Zz, SW look, out
Lesson 29- Yy, Qq, SW off, take
Lesson 30- REVIEW!

Another great tip I got from a colleague is to throw EVERYTHING you use for each unit into the journeys tubs.  So take all the cards, leveled reader books, master  printables etc. and just throw them in there! :)

    Does anyone know of a school/ district that has this all figured out in the way Waltke'sWebor K kove had Scott Foresmanorganized? I realize the is a lot of stuff on tpt, but I am looking for a complete overall picture? Where are the games mentioned on the cards? Are the in the instructional strategies - they were not easy to find. Thanks

6 weeks of grace!

Here we go. 20th year! 10th year in 2nd grade! Where has the time gone?! Today I want to talk about what I have learned in the last few years (crazy journey we've been on huh?) It is.... Give yourself grace the first 6 weeks of school! I no longer start the first week of school with the mindset that I'm gonna get up early and workout, come home do a load of laundry, cook a healthy meal etc. etc. NOW I tell myself you may not workout for 6 weeks and it's OK, laundry may pile up (I warn my family), I'm not gonna cook much (I warn my family-actually they know by now). I may let myself stay later at school, maybe even a weekend BUT THEN after 6 weeks are up I implement the rest of it back in my life. This is the best advice I can give to young teacher families.  What have you learned about home/work balance??

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you??  Lice does not discriminate.  Anyone can get it.  Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore.  It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice.  Nice experiment huh?  So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails.  "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home."  I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving?  Yes me!!  Time to freak out.  Please don't do this.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading...
